Labour's shadow education secretary has announced plans to replace Ofsted grades for schools with a new report card should the party win the next general election.
Shadow education secretary, Bridget Phillipson, said the aim of the report card would be to better enable parents to get an understanding of where a school is performing well, where they can do better,and the areas in which the school is improving.
In a speech to the Association of School and College leaders on the weekend, Phillipson said that ‘parents and schools deserve better than a system that is high stakes staff, but low information for parents’.
